am i the only one who feels their life now revoles around SH (thinking about it, reading about it, dreaming about it ect)

I have felt that way in the past, it is certainly not an unusual problem if self harm progresses from being a coping mechanism to an addiction. It can seem impossible to become free, but it is not.

no your not alone.....but it doesnt help either. im not the best person to listen to tho ive been through this all about 3-4 times since 2008 so only take my word with some back up. sorry erm im making this about me. yes it will revolve around SH for as lond as SH is important to you...and by that i mean ifr you stop thinking about SH it will stop thinking about you.. its like a bee!!!!

I totally know what you mean, and you're not alone. I obsess about it constantly. It sucks, I know. *hugs* Sorry I don't have any advice, but I relate to you and you're not alone xoxox

I get that too. Dreams, thoughts, schedule. I'm trying to break free of it though. So it isn't quite always there.

I get that way too. Only it comes in cycles. Ill be ok for awhile, then for a few weeks\months its ALL i think about it. My entire life revolves around it and everything falls to the back burner.

I hope your ok.

I don't get that so much now but when I was at my worst, yes all the time, All I thought about was self harm, doing it, hiding it, think about it, dreaming about it ect. Take care. xx

Your not alone.

I think about SI every day, I check the forums everyday and see things about SI....it comes up in my dreams as well. And it kind of worries me how normal it seems to be to me and just how much I think about it. I'm not always thinking I want to SH but I still think about it as part of every day thoughts... If you get what I mean.

I think if kind of depends on your mood, abd after you are free for a while the thoughts happen less often. And when I am happy sometimes I don't think about it at all

Yes, all the time. I feel like its taking over my life, even on days i dont SH its always in my thoughts.
i think its just part of SH which will become less and less as we hopefully manage to fight it.
You are not alone in anyway xx
